    The Female FTSE Board Report 2014: Crossing the finish line
    (2014-03-26T00:00:00Z) Vinnicombe, Susan; Doldor, Elena; Turner, Caroline
    This year we have seen three major breakthroughs in FTSE 100 boards: the percentage of women in them has broken the 20% level (20.7%), the number of women on them has exceeded the 200 mark (205) and the number of all male boards has dropped to two. In the past six months the pace of change in appointing women to FTSE boards has increased to 35.5% an FTSE 100 and 33.3% on FTSE 250 boards. Turnover on FTSE 100 boards has risen to the 2012 level of 17% and on that basis our trajectory shows that we should reach 26.7% women on boards by 31 December 2015. Calculating our trajectory on 14% turnover (average pre 2011 turnover) we should still reach the Davies target by 31 December 2015 (25.3%)

    The Female FTSE Board Report 2015: Putting the UK Progress into a Global Perspective
    (2015-03-25T00:00:00Z) Vinnicombe, Susan; Doldor, Elena; Sealy, Ruth; Pryce, Patricia; Turner, Caroline
    This year we have seen significant progress on FTSE 100 boards. All-male boards have totally disappeared with Glencore, the last, appointing a woman to its board. The percentage of women on FTSE 100 boards is 23.5%, almost exactly where we predicted in last year's report. This puts us on track to hit the 25% target by the end of 2015. The percentage of women in executive directorships on FTSE 100 boards is at an all time high of 8.6% with 24 women holding such roles.

    Women on Boards: Progress following the 2012 Corporate Governance Code
    (2014-10-31T00:00:00Z) Sealy, Ruth; Turner, Caroline; Pryce, Patricia; Vinnicombe, Susan
    This report monitors and recounts progress to date against the Financial Reporting Council's 2012 amendment to the Corporate Governance Code, considering inclusion of diversity reporting within annual reports. From this and from measuring the reality of the statistics on women in leadership and board positions across the top FTSE 350 companies, the report comments on the extent to which gender diversity is becoming an integral part of corporate strategy.
